I was (still am) a huge Genesis fan back in my teen years and have lots and lots and lots of stuff to archive before the stuff gets too old to transfer..... Also splurged a little and got myself a copy of Roxio Creator Pro 2011 so I can do all kinds of neat things including audio and video editing (which will work great now I have a digital camera that shoots video in stereo).
Any of you do all these neat things for a hobby?
If so, can you please point me in the right direction as to the right kind of cord I am going to need to plug into my stereo on one end and my computer's USB drive on the other end?
Thanks! I am really excited about this and can't wait to start....it really sounds cool!

Dressy! This sounds like a fun project!
I, too, LOVE me some Genesis and if it's on a record with a few crackly scratches? Even better!
I know there are turntable/cassette combos out there that will transfer your digital for you for the best sound quality (this is the one I like: [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Ion-TTUSB-Turntable-USB-Record/dp/B000BUEMOO"]http://www.amazon.com/Ion-TTUSB-Turntable-USB-Record/dp/B000BUEMOO[/ame]) but I believe you can use a regular headphone cable on your "output" jack on your turntable or tuner and plug it directly to your "input" jack on your laptop.
Then you can use a program like Audacity (FREE!)
http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ to read the music into your system.
You will probably have to play with it a bit to get the sound quality where you want it but it's fairly easy.
Sounds like a FUN project!
